Get it while it's hot: Windows 7 sp1

[NewspaperCrane]

Windows 7 sp1 was released today. Features include:

• A boatload of hotfixes.
• Something called "RemoteFX"
• "Hyper-V Dynamic Memory" (Which apparently has the operating system using memory more efficiently, though it's apparently only for virtualization.)

Microsoft has such cool names for their features lately... I'm beginning to think that they are going to start writing comic books.

Remotefx and hyper-v are pretty much useful for servers only, and all the hotfixes were already previously released on windows update. SP1 is really just a rollup, so if you reinstall, you don't have to install all the updates individually. There's not much to see here if you've been keeping up with the releases so far.

Hooray!

Hopefully our computers will stop crashing like 1/4 of the time when we remote into them.
